lol,

the petty blue charger is very cool, can i drive?

As for [free] technical support for old turds that are not supposed to ride drive handle.....show me the $$$ and i will provide the proper technical support. It really is about budget. No time for idle chat and having to write 250 words or more. there is no app. Tires alone are $1000.00

I am unable to post pics of crappy iso cars running hot road course laps...wrong pc

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

The pissing matches in this post are nuts. Bloke asked a simple question.

I've done all this to an M body in increments and can give you a fairly good cost/benefit breakdown.

Assuming you already have modern radial tires on the car, as suggested first thing to do is eliminate the ISO biscuits. Firm Feel sells the blocks you'll need to do this for the front end. You can probably skip over eliminating the rear, but I wouldn't. Convert it to an earlier B body solid shock plate setup. Get the front and rear bars from Firm Feel. The difference in handling at this point will be astronomical. Ride quality won't take that much of a hit.

From here you can decide if you want toss money at taking it further.

If your car doesn't have frame ties in it yet this would be the next thing to do. It'll make another huge improvement in handling and overall feel to the car.

Past this point you're looking at expensive shocks and different torsion bars and would warrant an entirely new conversation.

Good luck.

This one? "Hey does anyone still make Sway bars to get these old boats to corner?"

Simple answer for those with ADD that has already been answered, NO stirthepot
